Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
O-(2-[18F]-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine Positron Emission Tomography (FET-PET) scans will be performed on all study participants pre and post radiotherapy. Patients will be instructed to fast for a minimum of 4 hours prior to administration of 200 MBq of F18-FET through an iv cannula. Pre-treatment scans are within 4 weeks of start of radiotherapy and post-treatment scans are 7-14 days after completion of radiotherapy. The first 20 participants (Group A) will undergo an additional pre-treatment PET scan 7-10 days after the first pre-treatment PET scan (a total of 3 PET scans). The remainder of participants (group B) will complete 1 pre and 1 post treatment PET scan . Each participant will also provide a small blood sample prior to the first PET scan for future analysis (yet to be determined). Duration of the imaging scan is approximately 30 minutes and patients are imaged immediately after tracer injection.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292947 0
Overall survival (OS) measured from study entry date to date of death or study end date, whichever is earliest. Analysis will occur 18 months after final participant is recruited
Timepoint [1] 292947 0
Follow-up will be from study entry until the censorship date (when all patients have been followed for at least 18 months) or until deceased.
Secondary outcome [1] 309997 0
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Timepoint [1] 309997 0
Will be measured from study entry date until disease progression, as defined by the MacDonald criteria, or to study end date, whichever is earliest.
Secondary outcome [2] 309998 0
Time to Progression (TTP)
Timepoint [2] 309998 0
Measured from study entry date until disease progression is determined based on the MacDonald criteria
Secondary outcome [3] 310919 0
Diagnosis of pseudoprogression
Timepoint [3] 310919 0
Evidence of pseudoprogression will be assessed retrospectively, and will be based on a combination of radiological evidence on MRI scans, corticosteroid dose and Clinical status from study enrolement date until study end date.
